AFTER A RECORD 4 straight No. 1s, 2013–16, Caterine Ibargüen had an off-year in ’17, slipping to No. 2. She bounced back (pun intended) this year by going undefeated and dominating the performance lists. She’s now tied with Tatyana Lebedeva for most No. 1s ever at 5… Last year’s No. 1, Yulimar Rojas, opened on a long note, winning the World Indoor gold, but she no-marked in her only other meet and sat out the season with a right-ankle injury. She slips in at No. 7…

AMERICANS MADE BIG NEWS (no, really), having a pair of scorers for the first time ever. Keturah Orji ended up at No. 4, Tori Franklin at No. 5. Franklin took the AR away from Orji, but Orji beat her 3–0 in head-to-head meetings. Orji, who was No. 5 in ’16, became only the second American ever to score twice, Sheila Hudson turning the trick in ’92 and ’96.
